Solution

unodo designs pages combining the requested functionality with modern design.

The page content area and the information boxes in the right column get rounded corners.

The page header shows the Moodle logo on a white background.
Below the orange colored menu for site navigation is placed centrally and good reachable. The search field and button are just to the right in the menu bar. This way the users find the two most used navigation elements in one place.

The page under the menu bar offers a wide content area and a narrow right information column. The content area width follows dynamically the window width. The information column has a fixed width.

In the long forums lists it is important for the users to be able to find the unread postings fast. The signal marking new postings is shown right aligned. THis way the list has a clearer structure than a list where the marking would be placed directly after the differently long the forum names.
